Welcome to Durkin Zintl Psychology

Please note: I am not currently available to take on any new private referrals (as of June 2019). 
I am a Registered Psychologist with more than 10 years of clinical experience. I offer a range of assessment and intervention services and specialise in working with infants, children, adolescents and families.​

Over the years I have worked across multiple contexts in both public and private sectors, including the Ministry of Education, Child Youth and Family Services (now Oranga Tamariki), Ministry of Justice, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (District Health Board) and Primary Health Organisations.

I have been in private practice since 2007, initially based in Christchurch with colleagues at Child and Family Psychology Services, and more recently as a sole practitioner. In my private practice I have taken on a wide range of contracts, including psychometric assessments (e.g. for intellectual, developmental or learning concerns), specialist sleep assessments and interventions, group and individual parenting programmes, counselling through Employee Assistance Programmes, and specialist report writing for the Family and Criminal Courts. Following the Canterbury Earthquakes, I was involved extensively in providing therapeutic services to children and families affected by post-traumatic stress, fear and anxiety related to the quakes.

From 2014 to 2018, I was based in Greymouth.
I am now based in Blenheim, Marlborough, where I live with my husband and three children. For clients outside of this area and not able to travel I may be able to come to you in some circumstances. Phone/Skype/Facetime consultations are also available if appropriate. I accept referrals from all sources, including self-referral.
